They’re in my base killing my d00d

This Stroggified soldier might look intimidating, but don’t be fooled. Controlled by me he becomes an inept, trigger-happy rookie more likely to blow himself up or fall into space than threaten any trash-talking l33t German teenagers.

(Quake 4 runs fairly well on this iMac, but it’s staggeringly dull; it depresses me that dozens of people spent years on something so predictable and uninspired. And I wasted hours investigating why multiplayer wasn’t working before finding the game needed fixing.)
